  1. Re:No thanks on IE Holes Not Microsoft's Fault, Says Bill · · Score: 3, Informative

    That is correct for additional users. The original user created during install is an Administrator.

  2. Re:No thanks on IE Holes Not Microsoft's Fault, Says Bill · · Score: 0

    I'd venture to say most people who use OS X are logged in as admins. I mean, outside of a corporate environment where is might be mandated, how many users actually create a second account thats not an administrator work as?

  3. Re:You forgot #5... on Apple Posts 4th Quarter Financial Results · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you missed #2 on his list...

  4. Re:ah yes on New Technique Could Trace Documents By Printer · · Score: 1

    You can't really trace bullets with forensics. You can verify that a bullet came from a certain gun, but you need to actually have both.

  5. Re:Expect some things... on New Technique Could Trace Documents By Printer · · Score: 1

    China is trade partner, that the US toys giving a "Most Favored Nation" designation to. They from the trade world's standpoint do not count as "anti-US."

  6. Re:...by cheating! on 'Tit for Tat' Defeated In Prisoner's Dilemma Challenge · · Score: 1

    Or you could not care about pedantic spelling mistakes on Slashdot.

  7. Re:...by cheating! on 'Tit for Tat' Defeated In Prisoner's Dilemma Challenge · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree more. The whole issue behind the prisoner's dilemma is trust and payoff. The Tit for Tat wins because it changes the rules of the game; buy adding in other factories. Its like saying you won at Monopoly buy bribing two of the other three players to play poorly. It works, but its doesn't exactly count as a winning strategy.

  8. Re:Any chance this bombshell... on Halo 2 Available on the Net · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think there's really much need increase the hype for Halo 2. Know anyone with an X-Box who's not getting it?

  9. Re:War against $FOO on U.S. Declares War on Intellectual Property Theft · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the War on Poverty.

    I can't wait for the war on violence.

  10. Re:returning confiscated items is rare, isn't it? on Indymedia Servers Given Back · · Score: 1

    You realize of course, that since you're not involved party, you probably just don't know all the facts. I don't think its any government policy anywhere to always comment on ongoing criminal investigations to the general public.

  11. Music Files on Rio Karma User Review · · Score: 0, Troll

    But does it play my protected AAC files?

  12. Re:Emergency Calls? on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 1

    So it doesn't sound like such a big deal (the cell jamming) except for essential personnel.

  13. Re:Emergency Calls? on France to Allow Cell Phone Jamming · · Score: 1

    Does that mean you're not allowed to go camping, or to the lake, or some other place where there is little or no cell signal?

  14. Re:Tuner quality and sensitivity? on Griffin RadioSHARK Exceeds Expectations · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, because we all know that MP3s always have less quality that an FM Transmition

  15. Re:Crackdown, T-Minus ? days on Griffin RadioSHARK Exceeds Expectations · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean I've been doing the video beauwulf cluster thing all wrong then?

  16. Re:SightLight on Griffin RadioSHARK Exceeds Expectations · · Score: 1

    You mean exactly like how ring lights work for photography?

  17. Re:It wouldn't go that way on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, enjoy that serial cable you're connecting your Kodak DC 20 to your XP box with, and its .3 megapixels of glory.

  18. Re:It wouldn't go that way on If Mac OS X Came to x86, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, cause those are things I really need dual 64 bit processors for.

  19. Re:Bias on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 1

    Avaya also sells PBX's. Its where ours is from.

  20. Re:Pornographic Institute.. on UK Record Industry Sues 'Major Filesharers' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not at all. I figured if the Pornographic Institute was coming after file-swappers, Slashdot would be down to about 6 people by the end of the month.

  21. Security through worlessness. on How Are You Protecting Your Computers? · · Score: 1

    I just don't have anything worth hacking on my network.

  22. Re:Only need IE to get past 'unknown browser' scre on Redmondmag on Dumping IE · · Score: 1

    So to paraphrase, you're saying "If it wasn't for modern browsers, would have Flash. Flash isn't very good"?

    I'm not saying the web should stay stagnant technologically, just that if I go to a website, I'm going there for the content. "Helping making the internet better" comes I get my job done. How do you explain to a client you couldn't finish their projected because your were philosophically opposed to the design of one of the websites you needed to get something from?

  23. Re:I'm putting an old laptop to good use right now on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 1

    I can't remember the last time I let milk go sour. I rink the stuff like...well, milk.

  24. Re:Only need IE to get past 'unknown browser' scre on Redmondmag on Dumping IE · · Score: 1

    I don't especially care about "innovation on the web," I care more about the content the web is letting me access. If I have to use IE to get that content, than so be it. Innovations on the web are just methods to access content.

  25. Re:Only need IE to get past 'unknown browser' scre on Redmondmag on Dumping IE · · Score: 1

    Or we could actually get our work done by using the site.
